People chose the best design
G
roundskeepers
and patriotism
go together like
baseball and apple pie.
It's a perfect fit for the
Sports Turf Managers
Association's second
annual Stars and Stripes
mowing pattern contest.
"Yes, it is," said Kim Heck,
CEO of STMA, an organization
of 2,600 men and women
professionals overseeing
sports fields worldwide.
"Thirty percent of our
members are former military.
So I know that they are very
proud to create really patriotic
designs and celebrate our
Independence Day."
Members crafted unique
Fourth of July-themed
field designs with mowing
equipment for eligibility to win
complimentary registration
to the 2018 STMA Annual
Conference next January
in Fort Worth, Texas.
